<p>EJScreen’s Environmental Justice Analysis Multisite Tool (EJAM) is a resource provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). It lets you easily and quickly see demographic and environmental information aggregated within and across hundreds or thousands of places, all at the same time.</p>

</h3>
<p>EJAM is also available to analysts and developers as an R Package written in the <a href="https://www.r-project.org/" class="external-link">R programming language</a>, with source code on GitHub. When used in RStudio, the EJAM package provides functions to help analysts work with block group data, points, and polygons, to very quickly aggregate and compare large numbers of locations.</p>
<p>Again, installing the R package also allows one to use <a href="articles/0_webapp.html">EJAM as a local web app</a> if the shiny app is launched locally on a user’s own computer.</p>

<p>Effective August 8, 2016, the <a href="https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files/omb/memoranda/2016/m_16_21.pdf" class="external-link uri" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">OMB Mandate: M-16-21; Federal Source Code Policy: Achieving Efficiency, Transparency, and Innovation through Reusable and Open Source Software</a> applies to new custom-developed code created or procured by EPA consistent with the scope and applicability requirements of Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB’s) Federal Source Code Policy. In general, it states that all new custom-developed code by Federal Agencies should be made available and reusable as open-source code.</p>
<p>The EPA specific implementation of OMB Mandate M-16-21 is addressed in the <a href="https://www.epa.gov/irmpoli8/policy-procedures-and-guidance-system-life-cycle-management-slcm" class="external-link uri" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">System Life Cycle Management Procedure</a>. EPA has chosen to use GitHub as its version control system as well as its inventory of open-source code projects. EPA uses GitHub to inventory its custom-developed, open-source code and generate the necessary metadata file that is then posted to code.gov for broad reuse in compliance with OMB Mandate M-16-21.</p>
